Fit 2.0 system, cheaper as Rob says and does not affect performance.

Soak exhaust studs in plusgas or another penetrating oil a week or so before hand, hopefully studs will come out.

Other than that, dead easy  :y

That thread is from 2007  ;) Lot of pattern ones do sound crap, but I have an eternal 2.0 system on my 2.2. As Vx quality dipped massively on exhausts.

It's almost as good as original, the centre boxes are double walled. Back box is not, if it was, be n par with original GM

That's for cosmetic purposes only, 2.2 I popped a trim on. 3.2 I've not bothered
